Klein Karoo Olive Estate & Irrigation Farm

Klein Karoo Olive Estate & Irrigation Farm

A rare opportunity to own a certified organic olive farm in a serene lifestyle setting.

Nestled in the tranquil Klein Karoo, this exceptional property combines commercial farming potential with a peaceful lifestyle. The estate features over 4,500 Mission, Frantoio, and Coratina olive trees, with additional land already cleared and prepared for expansion. Approximately 7 hectares of arable land are ready for planting — ideal for lucerne, barley, or oats.

Benefiting from a Floriskraaldam water allocation, the property is well equipped with dams, boreholes, and rainwater storage, supporting sustainable and organic operations maintained for the past eight years.

The farm offers the ideal environment for mixed farming — perfect for keeping cattle, sheep, pigs, or chickens — all while living in a charming century-old farmhouse located in one of the safest and most beautiful regions in South Africa.

Explore the surrounding veld filled with natural beauty — Huilboerboon trees bursting with red blooms and humming with bees, along with Ghwarrie, Klapperbos, Botterboom, Wild Pomegranate, Wild Rosemary, and Jelly Bean plants. Wildlife abounds, with regular sightings of kudu, duiker, and other antelope, as well as an impressive variety of indigenous birds — including fish eagles and spoonbills near the dams.

Breathe in the pure air, marvel at the vivid sunrises and sunsets, and enjoy unpolluted, star-filled night skies — the ultimate setting for a simple, pure, and fulfilling way of life.
